Chapter 166 The Secret of the Dragon Cult
Just when Lin Chen was thinking,
Su Quan's words caused the tea that Lin Chen hadn't swallowed to spray all over the floor.
Fortunately, he turned his head away, otherwise the two people in front of him would suffer.
"His Royal Highness, you and Long Er are still engaged." Su Quan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lin Chen was startled when he heard this and began to recall the relevant memories of his original body in his mind.
However.
Nothing at all.
So much so that Lin Chen suspected that Su Quan was deceiving him.
But looking at the trace of shame and annoyance in the eyes of the fake Queen Mother Long Er, it didn't look like she was faking it.
Seeing Lin Chen's suspicious look, Su Quan explained...
After hearing this explanation, Lin Chen knew this dusty secret.
The family of the fake Queen Mother Long'er was a noble family in the previous dynasty, and its status was comparable to that of the Jia family today.
Therefore.
Their family produced many concubines.
Although Lin Chen's cheap father, the last emperor of the previous dynasty, was not a human being, he was particularly concerned about his only son's bloodline.
He started paving the way for Lin Chen to inherit the throne early.
One is to marry into a noble family with an extraordinary status in the court.
"Marriage on the fingertips?"
Lin Chen was shocked, because when the marriage was agreed, he was not even born yet!
"Exactly."
Su Quanyan smiled and looked at Lin Chen and Long Er with interest, as if waiting to watch the excitement.
"The previous dynasty has been destroyed, so there is no need to worry about this matter." Lin Chen came to his senses and said with a helpless smile.
"His Royal Highness, are you serious?"
When Su Quan heard this, his expression suddenly became a little more serious.
oh?
Lin Chen looked at the expressions of Su Quan and Long Er, and there was something else that he didn't know about.
Feeling the eyes of the fake queen mother staring at him angrily, Lin Chen was a little confused.
Lin Chen may not know.
From his modern perspective, it is certainly a bad habit to marry with the fingertips.
But this is ancient times.
more importantly.
Su Quan's next words seemed to be spoken casually.
"If this is the case, as a holy girl of the Dragon Cult, she may have to marry Hong Antong's son in the name of marriage."
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
It turns out...the situation within the Shenlong Sect is very complicated.
When the Shenlong Sect was first founded, it was done in the name of Lin Chen, the orphan of the former royal family.
Although the family of the false queen mother suffered heavy losses along with the collapse of the previous dynasty.
As the saying goes, a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family!
Long Er's family went into hiding and just changed their name to do things.
When the Shenlong Sect was founded, the family behind Long Er also made great efforts.
In other words.
The forces in Shenlong Cult are complex, headed by three people.
One is the royal branch of the former dynasty behind Hong Antong.
The second is the family power behind Long Er.
The third one surprised Lin Chen.
It was actually in the hands of Su Quan!
The reason is that this woman’s origin is also not simple!
Lin Chen suddenly remembered that in his original memory, he mentioned a general named Su in just a few words.
This man rose to prominence at the end of his life, and during the collapse of the previous dynasty, he became the only general who could resist Li Tang's power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the pillar of the country.
Comparatively, this General Su has the shadow of Zhang Han, a famous general in the late Qin Dynasty.
However.
At the end of the dynasty, just like the second emperor of Qin Dynasty, it was no longer possible for a few capable ministers and generals to save the building from collapse.
General Su died in battle, and many of his subordinates were scattered around the country without a trace.
The first emperor of Li Tang Dynasty also admired this man very much and buried his body with royal rites.
So to say.
Lin Chen's unobtrusive gaze fell on Su Quan's long legs hidden under the palace skirt. They were slender and straight, and fit tightly.
In other words.
Is this Su Quan still a virgin? !
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's expression became strange.
In this way, are Hong Antong and Su Quan's name as husband and wife simply to unite the Shenlong Sect?
At this time, Lin Chen suddenly remembered that Su Quan had just tried his best to persuade him to return to the Shenlong Sect as the prince.
Lin Chen was no fool.
He already somewhat understood Su Quan's intention.
The strife within the Shenlong Sect has become fierce!
Is Su Quan planning to use Lin Chen's status as prince to suppress Hong Antong's faction?
But Hong Antong was from the royal family of the previous dynasty, and even if it was a branch, he was closer to Lin Chen by blood.
Lin Chen thought about this clearly and became clear in his heart.
Without knowing the internal situation of Shenlong Cult, he did not intend to get involved.
If he was really a precarious eunuch in the palace and worried about his identity being exposed, Lin Chen would definitely accept the olive branch offered by Su Quan.
However, Lin Chen was thriving with Li Zhao.
Even the Crown Princess...cough.
Back to topic.
Lin Chen, who frowned and pretended to feel troubled, raised his head and looked at the fake Queen Mother Long Er with a questioning look.
It seemed that she was letting him express his thoughts, which made the fake Queen Mother Long Er a little angry.
Those who don’t know better think that Lin Chen is some kind of gentleman!
Could it be that his frivolous treatment of him earlier was the behavior of a gentleman?
As for what she thinks?
The virtues of Hong Antong's eldest son flashed through the mind of the false queen mother, and her expression became more and more ugly.
To say that he is a dandy is to say that he is too high-spirited!
Naturally, she would look down on such a person who is ignorant and has no ambition.
On the other hand, look at the guy in front of you.
Apart from anything else, the sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, like the face of Pan An reborn, made Long Er's eyes flash with an unnatural color.
After all, she is also a woman, and naturally hopes that her husband has a handsome face and elegant manners.
Lin Chen noticed that the fake queen mother Long Er gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision, and hurriedly interrupted.
"Let's discuss this matter later! With major events at hand, how can we focus on the affairs of young men and women?!"
That's right.
Lin Chen didn't believe that Su Quan and other Shenlongjiao masters sneaked into the palace just to cause trouble for him.
"This..."
Su Quan heard what Lin Chen said, and also thought of the important things at the moment.
"So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested in taking over the Shenlongjiao?" Su Quan looked at Lin Chen with burning eyes and tried to speak.
Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled inexplicably at the corner of his mouth, but did not give a clear answer.
Seeing this, Su Quan was not annoyed.
In her opinion, once Lin Chen's true identity is exposed, there will be no place for him in the Li Tang world!
From a certain perspective, Lin Chen and the Shenlong Cult are grasshoppers on the same rope.
In this case, Su Quan can trust Lin Chen. After a flash of thought in her eyes, she revealed this plan.
Hiss.
After listening to Su Quan's description, Lin Chen was shocked.
The Shenlong Cult gang members who sneaked into the palace are all well-trained experts.
If they break out at the ceremony of Li Zhao's enthronement of the queen in ten days, with the help of the fake queen mother and Su Quan, they may be able to kill Li Zhao on the spot!
Once Li Zhao dies, the Li Tang world will be in chaos!
After all, the situation in the Li Tang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that undercurrents are surging in all directions.
However, under Su Quan's surprised gaze, Lin Chen suddenly laughed and spread his hands.
"This will never work!"
